I finally got my letter accepting me as a graduation Candidate for 9/05. I also checked my final grades and it looks like I am going to be graduating with a 4.0. So now I am finishing a 60 credit Masters in Fine Arts, I have a huge portfolio full of great stuff , and years of experience.

It was definately worth it because I just accepted my dream job making $17,000/year at Canisius with no health benefits. It's about the same amount they paid me when I had only a undergraduate degree in German Language. Ironically, school cost more than that. They told me once again it might go full time in January. I am a sucker for stories aparently. They told me that one for four years now. I guess there is still hope the salary could go up.

It's sad because I had planned on using the money I made working full time and reinvesting it in this site. I just want it to be on a fast server so that my years of programming can be fully appreciated. I guess it will have to wait another year.

The reason this happend to me is because I don't want to work for some big corporation and I don't want to have to leave my home town. Where are all the non-profits that need designers and web techs. The going bid is $17,001, at this point, lol. Please someone rescue me before it is too late, I am truly capable of making anything happen on the web.

The taste of Buffalo is moving to Niagara Sqaure. I wonder what prompted the moving of the Taste of Buffalo?

That's right, the Taste is moving from the urban intimacy of Main Street to the wide-open plains of Niagara Square and Delaware Avenue. With City Hall as a backdrop point your compass North and you'll find restaurants, beverage tents and entertainment almost all the way to Chippewa Street! Enjoy the ample elbow room the new location provides as you sample old favorites and new tastes from many of Buffalo and Western New York's favorite restaurants!Quoted from: Taste of Buffalo

So today we had like 6 million guests probably from the sidewalk chalk, yet I was playing with the online guest code to make it more efficient, so nobody saw them in the number of guests. No fear, it is accurate again.

(e:terry) and I collborated on the making of Calamari Fritti. They are delicioso. The recipe:

Pull the freakin brains out of the Calamari. That was my job. You can see them in the strainer. I thought it was gross, but ntohing beats (e:robin) 's blackberry story.

The next step is breading with flour, corn meal, salt, pepper, oregano and just a dash of basil. The (e:terry) fried them in canola oil. It has a higher frying temp than olive oil. Last heast up some tomato sauce and enjoy.
